We are grateful for the ongoing generosity and advocacy of our friends, community leaders, sponsors and business partners who help us secure millions of dollars to support the economic mobility of these local residents.

Beloved Benefit was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s empowering vision of a beloved community where people work together to solve social problems ranging from racism and poverty to hunger and homelessness. All funds raised this year will be distributed among various nonprofit organizations serving Atlanta, including the Center for Employment Opportunities, the Latin American Association and Goodwill of North Georgia.
